This vitamin C serum for oily skin targets a specific type of free radical skin damage caused by oil oxidisation. Research increasingly shows that when the skin’s oils oxidise, the resulting free radical damage can trigger inflammation and bacteria leading to the formation of blemishes.

As a potent antioxidant, vitamin C can protect the skin from daily environmental aggressors including UV radiation and pollution. These aggressors further oxidise skin oils, which is why vitamin C is well suited for a serum for oily skin.

Scientific studies show that using Silymarin CF vitamin C serum for oily skin reduces oil oxidation by up to 76%

In the morning after cleansing and toning, apply 4-5 drops of Silymarin CF to a dry face, neck, and chest before other skincare products. Complete your regimen with a SkinCeuticals sunscreen. When used together, SkinCeuticals antioxidants and broad-spectrum sunscreens provide comprehensive protection against signs of visible aging caused by environmental aggressors.
